Iwona Kienzler, author of popular biographies, brings readers closer to the fate of Wladyslaw Gomulka - from his youth, when he was an apprentice locksmith, through the war years, his stay in prison, the Polish October 1956, to the bloody events of December 1970 and his political retirement. Gomulka served as First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Polish United Workers' Party for 14 years, the longest of all First Secretaries of the Polish People's Republic. As a communist by choice and conviction, he, along with others, sought to transform Poland into a totalitarian state. He was an advocate of terror and violence against the opposition. Gomulka's authority suffered through March 1968, and his career was finally ended by the bloodily suppressed revolt of coastal workers in December 1970.
